Why is when I try to get anything done on the car by someone else it always fooks up ....getting my engine built and its taken nearly 4 months and still not done, cars also gone in for welding that would 'apparently' take a day and still not done maybe I should just sell it and be done with it

[fezza]

Know how that feels mate just think about driving it when its done

[sambo]

Chill winston, its still winter. As long as its ready for the summer mate thats all that matters. Chin up!!

[escort21]

It fooking matters when its your only car.....and making me a hardcore osf user I hasten to add, and I need to get to work and see people

[antz]

[Posse]

I know the feeling mate, my first Old skool project was delayed by nearly two years by a bodyshop that kept claiming they'd "be ready to paint next week" they ended up doing a runner and my car ended up in the hands of the receivers, took ages to get it back!

[LEONMEX]

Took me four years to get my escy done,well worth the work in the end though Best things come to those who wait,or something like that

[Danmex]

Know how you feel, It's doing my head in not being able to drive mine

[Mr Sam]

keep it you'll jus kick yourself afterwards

 

it will pay off in the end

[jay]

keep it matey, dont sell it, you'll only end up regretting it....

[105Speed]

Think you just need to start using some different suppliers mate...

 

 

I know people always bang on about their 'favourite' people.. I know I do.. but I only recommend people I have used or know the quality of their work and a just like feed back on e-bay a few good recommendations can go a long way.

Cars not done still...and I can't get hold of the guy, think he's buggered off on holiday now

[Jelly]

Get your car back.

 

I hope you never paid in advance?

[Gareth]

M8,

 

DON'T GIVE UP

 

Thats for quitters

[Rick]

you should do everything yourself... only yourself to blame then

[escort21]

He's done it. Got the car back tonite. He's done a superb job. Apparently some cock had bodged a mk1 tina sill onto my mk2 and fillered it up to look ok which is why it took longer. He gave me a carrier bag of crap he cut out. Will definately be going back for more welding from him. Massive apologies from me to him......i'm just soooo impatient I'll stick some pics up at the weekend

[mk2 stu]

See, have a little patience mate, my car has been in my garage for nearly four years now!!! its so worth the wait, wish i could jus give it to someone else to finiish but jus want it done my way!

[Doc]

Honestly ! I hate fookin so called garages

 

Just get the car back and find someone else to do it mate !

I know better than most what Apple Pies garages can be . It took me almost two years to prise mine from a Useless garage and we all know the state that my car arrived back in

 

Get it back ! and find someone else to fx it bud.

I know how you feel, last winter my Mexico was in trouble, I broke a half shaft and thought I had fooked the diff......... had loadsa issues trying to get it sorted and then it failed the mot on poor brakes.......and if it wasn't for Russ Pemberton {neighbour and AVO top man} and Smudger selling me some spares I may well have sold it.......

 

Bought 5 pairs of half shafts from various breakers and not one set was straight, then soemone aid that you could fit RS MK2 shafts... so I bought some really good ones, put new bearings on and guess what.... they didnt fit... sold them last year to Driver......

 

I bought some MK2 shafts {new old stock} and got them machined down the same as MK1 shafts... all sorted now....

 

PS... the rear brake issue was due to the previous muppet owner fitting a wilwood bias valve under the carpet screwed all the way in and breaking off the adjuster....... so I ad to take out the whole interior, seats carpets etc and have new brake pipe made and bypass all the old crud that was there....... anyway......... STICK WITH IT......

 

Cost me over £ 300 to change a pair of half shafts.......... and then I changed all the brakes / slave cyls etc .
